Here We Go Again

Day 153

Feeling much more optimistic this morning.  I took a lengthy nap yesterday afternoon, went to the office for six hours, slept for another five hours or so overnight and woke up this morning feeling surprisingly good.  I've read somewhere that Thomas Edison or someone mostly just napped rather than sleeping in blocks of 8 hours, I might have to try that since it's so rare that I wake up refreshed.

Even more surprisingly, I didn't feel especially bloated.  I know I've got some water being retained as a result of all this starch, but I still felt pretty lean.  The scale hasn't moved, so hopefully a good week will get things headed back in the right direction.

I went grocery shopping this morning and bought nothing.  Seriously -- I bought 4 food items:  Some ham, a package of Applegate Farms bacon, a Fage yogurt and a bottle of ranch dressing.  Still spent $26.00 total but that's another story.  I have quite a bit of stuff on hand and I think I'm going to try and hit one of the farmer's markets this week for some more produce.

Also, I'm giving serious thought to buying a food dehydrator.  I will probably try the oven method first, but since I seem to like jerky I might as well look at making it myself.  We'll see.
